Paperclip Shapes

Welcome to the Corona Virus Chronicles... Tim is now self-isolating, and presenting his videos directly from his apartment, via a web link.
Tim started collecting unusual shaped paperclips about 20 or 30 years ago. However he is quite choosy these days, as there is an almost infinite variety of unusual shaped paperclips. He recalls a similar sense of ennui some years ago, when having seen a teapot in the shape of a cottage, he then came across a shop absolutely filled with novelty teapots of all shapes and designs, and he realised that this was another endless theme.
- A paperclip in the shape of the treble or G clef... this is something Tim has passed around at the choir he sings in, for their entertainment.
- Yellow Paperclips designed as ducks
- Next, Gem Clips, although Tim is not clear why they are called Gem Clips, since they don't especially look like gems...
- A paperclip that looks like a bone.
- Knife, Fork and Spoon paperclips, which could also be used as a marker in your cookery books!
- Then bicycle clips, which are paperclips shaped as bicycles, not those clips that keep your trousers from getting caught in the chain
- Digits from zero to nine...

I have a UFO shaped paper clip dispenser that abducts cow-shaped paper clips with a magnet in the belly of the ship!

That is incredible! I wish I had cool trinkets, but I don’t.

[@cookiekas2340]

That's so awesome!

To answer Tim's question: "Most paper clips are variations of the Gem type introduced in the 1890s or earlier, characterized by the almost two full loops made by the wire."

[@Shadowstitch]

I had a genuine belly laugh at the "0" paper clip.

[@nightshadow4417]

Very nice clip do not stop with UA-cam please!!!!!!

[@YvonneWilson312]

I love these! The little duck was my favourite.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

It is so difficult to find paper clips with various designs before the internet came by.

[@randywatson8347]

Tim would be a perfect actor in an adventure game.

[@fignisai6075]

[@EdBoonSucks]

Can anyone remember a time when Tim was back on the set?

[@garciatheanimator80082]

Ayyyyy, Tim! Nice video man😃

[@bland9876]

This reminds me of the silly band craze that was around for about 2 weeks

[@FamchiTV]

Congratulations for your video!!! :) virtual hugs from Chile!!!

[@jamiedawson7128]

Great vid

[@Kwstr42]

I refurbished an old pachinko machine and made a cabinate for it, for the lights I used a paper clip shaped like a light bulb as the indicator for the light switch

[@JonBastian]

You have to be careful with the dog bone one, though. Put it on the wrong way around, and it looks like an entirely different kind of bone! (I worked in an office once that had them, which is how I found out.)

[@benjackson1077]

I want a teapot paperclip

[@faultyjosh8314]

HE’S BACK

[@peterawesomeness1]

Tim’s counter slowly being consumed by more cases. 🙃

[@everlieviola4587]

If you gave us an amazon link for these, you could make a bit of money

[@jam-cy7fr]

Wow

[@bungwohlio]

[@danforbes3573]

[@FUTUREpilot267]

[@oxenforde]

I had a paper clip made of "memory metal". I would twist it into all sorts of shapes, and it would stay in those shapes. Then, I would dunk it in hot water, and it would return to a paper-clip shape. One day, it turned up missing. Someone took it off my wall, and used it. It's gone.

[@alwayswatching.5923]

oxenforde that sucks :( sorry to hear that :(

[@bowieaddict3178]

That's heartbreaking!

[@phonotical]

gem clips are people shaped

[@CozyCrusader]

Hello there

[@dropkickedmurphy6463]

First! I loved this video. By the way, if you bend a paper clip in a specific way, you can make a heart. Just one bend.

[@0rngr]

Speed 💯

[@danforbes3573]

Ah yes, this must be from his soon to be published book. Grand Illusions ( The Humorous Diary of An old Eccentric) by Tim Quiller Rowett. Chapter 3: The Paperclip years (part 2)

It took you 10 years to realise paperclips?

[@jamesmatthew01]

Was those clips shaped to 69??
